Addresses under MP

[kirkland]

Haven't seen this discussed anywhere. So under MP we must provide real SSN (or EIN, for biz entities), which we assume creates a link between accounts but are not entirely sure.

How about the street addresses? If John Doe has a personal account and 2 business accounts, should John Doe's personal address be the same across all accounts? Specifically I'm referring to the address on John's personal account, as well as address of the shareholder on the corporate accounts.

My understanding is that for Atyen verification, your address does not need to match license address, as they verify by DOB + SSN instead. But I would imagine that if eBay knows your accounts to be linked via DOB/SSN nonetheless, then sees you are supposedly living at multiple different "addresses" all at once, it could be reason to flag your account.

Lastly, I'm assuming its okay if the biz addys are different too?

Not sure about the business accounts - for my personal US accounts, stealth info has been different addresses

Very interesting. And all these have your actual SSN/SIN & DOB I am assuming?

When asked for ID, the true info is given

I can actually testify there is no hard link. At least for myself. I had an account made in late 2020, ran hot and ended up getting suspended this year after MP was approved but never officially running on the account. Part of my limitation was my own stupidity from late shipping, trying to maximize sales with drop shipping.

But the account I had for the address has the same address as my aged account I've been running with no issues for over 5 months. The only difference is I did use a different APT #, though I highly doubt that would save me if there was a link. My actual address for my business on eBay for personal/work, was, and has always been different then the one that got suspended. Only same info was provided during signing up for MP.

that depends on the reason , random suspensions for security risk or performance issues usually hit a specific account. if you get suspended for selling counterfeits or prohibited products it is likely all your accounts will be
taken down as well if they have the same details

I don't know what the root cause was and I didn't try hard enough to figure it out. But if there is a link between the accounts it doesn't matter the cause, they are linked and auto suspended by the algos. Why would they let my aged account be free of suspension if it was linked to the one that just got suspended?
